But you, O LORD, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! (20) Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog!
Yes, Lord, You are not far off, You are always at my side, standing between me and the Evil One, but I forget, I seek my own solution and am determined to be my own sword and buckler. Help me, Lord, to seek You first, to always release my fears to you rather than my own weak and ineffectual attempts to be my defense.
